A Drop in the Ocean (by Ron Pope)
From the moment I woke up to the sound of the rain on the pavement, I knew that Sunday was going to be different. Something just felt weird, like it was out of place. You know those days where you wake up and it feels wrong? Yeah, it was one of those days.
I shook it off as I got out of bed, my mind wandering back to last night. Sora was acting strange, and I couldn't help but be upset. I was supposed to be his best friend but he couldn't even tell me what was wrong. It was really starting to bother me. I couldn't help but think maybe he didn't want to tell me...
I was snapped out of my thoughts by my phone vibrating. I looked down and saw a message from Namine.
NAMINE: Hey, want to come over today? Roxas and Sora have work until three.
See, I didn't even know he had work today! I always knew what Sora was up to and lately, I didn't have a clue what was going on. I sighed and glanced at the clock. It was eleven so I replied to Namine telling her I'd be over at noon.
I thought about my options as I got ready. My first choice was that I could try to make things go back to the way they were. The problem with that was he'd have to stop acting so weird, which was out of my control. My second option was to admit my feelings, but that really didn't have anything to do with the problem and wouldn't help. If anything, it would make Sora act even weirder around me. My last and only real possibility was to confront him.
I'd only really confronted Sora once before and that was when we were seven and I thought he broke my Minnie Mouse scooter (It had turned out that Cloud was the one that really broke it, but that's not the point). Sora and I barely ever fought, there was never any reason for confrontation. But if I pressed hard enough, Sora could never really hide anything from me.
Besides, it was the only way to change whatever was going on between us.
I sighed and walked outside, throwing my hood over my head. The rain wasn't that bad yet but I could tell it was just the beginning of the storm. I walked quickly the few blocks to her house, trying to push all the thoughts about Sora to the back of my mind. The last thing I needed was Namine getting involved in the middle of this.
Her and Sora were close, they had a sort of brother and sister relationship. She wouldn't pick a side, and I wouldn't want her to but I had a feeling she'd want us to make up. She always seemed to bring him up in conversation and ask me about him whenever we spent time together. At first I didn't think much of it, then I started to think she had a crush on him or something. Once she began spending a ton of time with Roxas that theory was disproved, so that left me with nothing.
As I reached her house, Namine opened the door and stepped onto the porch with a smile on her face. I smiled back as I saw what she was holding. In her right hand was the cover of some chick flick and in her left hand was a bowl of popcorn. I pulled down my hood and kicked off my shoes as we walked into her house and plopped onto the big navy L-shaped couch in her living room.
"When's the last time we did this?" I asked as she pressed a button on the remote and the movie began playing.
"Probably a month, maybe two." The movie had started but neither of us really cared. It was the same movie we had seen a thousand times. We never actually watched the movie. We talked when we hung out. Surprisingly and thankfully, we didn't talk about boys. We actually talked about the group. "So, what do you want to start with?" She asked, looking over at me as she shoved a handful of popcorn into her mouth.
I smirked and grabbed a handful myself. "Let's start with Tidus and Selphie."
In Selphie's opinion, rainy days were the best days for shopping. There wasn't much else to do in the rain and besides, the feeling of finding new cute clothes was the perfect pick-me-up when it's all gloomy and gray out. But of course, it was one o'clock on a Sunday afternoon and she was in the local library with textbooks surrounding her. She mentally sighed to herself as she glanced out the window, watching the rain drops trickle down the glass.
"Uh, I think I got it." She was snapped out of her daydream by a voice. She turned to look at the boy sitting across from her. He nervously slid the paper over to her. Just by the first glance Selphie knew she made the right choice coming to help him. His work was easy to follow and his answers matched her key exactly.
"Good job Peter, you got every single one right." She said as she stood and grabbed her textbook, slinging her bag over her shoulder.
"Really?" He asked, standing up and fumbling to grab all the papers and books at once. Selphie kindly smiled and handed it back to him.
"Yup, it couldn't be more right, if that makes sense." She said lightly. She quickly glanced over to where Olette sat with one of her students. They had both called in the morning saying they really needed help with pre-calc.
"Thanks a bunch Selphie! And I'm sorry about the last minute thing."
"Don't worry about it Peter. I'm glad I could help." She said. Olette and her student walked up to the two of them.
"We'll see you guys next week, alright?" Olette said. The two of them nodded before heading out of the library together. Olette waited until they were gone to give Selphie half of the money they had given her.
"Before you say anything, I know that rainy days are your shopping days Selph but thank you so much for helping me out. I don't think I could've helped both of them without you." Olette said as they left the library together. The rain was pattering against the pavement and Selphie was immediately grateful she decided to wear her rain boots that morning.
"It's no problem. After all, it would have taken you twice as long to help two people." She said as they both climbed into Olette's car.
"Under any usual circumstance I wouldn't have agreed to help but their summer work is due on Saturday and they have to leave for some sports camp thing today. In fact, I think they went right from the library to the school." Olette explained.
"Oh, they must be going to the same place as Tidus." Selphie said absentmindedly. She realized what she had said a moment after it came out and she opened her mouth to explain but Olette beat her to it.
"Speaking of Tidus, you two seem to be spending quite a lot of time together recently." Selphie turned to see Olette with that smirk on her face, the same one she always wore when she was right.
"Yeah, we're just being friends I guess. It's weird, I can't remember the last time the two of us hung out before this summer." Selphie tried her best to emphasize the friendship part of the conversation.
"Are you sure you two are just being quoet-unquote 'friends'? I mean you said it yourself, you and Tidus have barely spoken all three years of high school so why the sudden change?" Olette was a very smart and logistical person. She went by the facts, followed the book so to say. When it came to things like this, she was usually spot on but the problem was Olette didn't know Tidus very much.
"I know, it sounds strange. But honestly, I think Tidus just wants a real friend, one he can trust and rely on, you know? He has his teammates but he's... very different from them. I can tell by the way he talks about them that he feels like he doesn't really fit in with them. Besides, I'm pretty sure a girlfriend is the last thing on his mind with his sports. Actually, I don't think Tidus has ever even had a girlfriend." Selphie finished her explanation but she could tell by the look on Olette's face that she wasn't buying it.
"So there's nothing there? You don't think he's cute or anything?" Olette asked. Now that was a different question entirely.
"Well, yeah Tidus is sweet and all, plus he's the textbook definition of good looking but it's just not a good idea. He has sports and I have AP's. We're going to end up going to different colleges in a year anyway. And besides the inevitable end, we just started talking to each other on a personal level. I don't even know the basic "what's your favorite color". Maybe a year or two ago things could've turned out differently. But as of right now, I'm just getting an old friend back." Selphie explained.
The truth was that she had been thinking about the subject since the night before. She liked Tidus, he was very kind and well mannered. He held doors open and paid for dinner and he made sure she got home without falling asleep in a bush somewhere, but she wasn't sure if she thought of him like that. She didn't know him well enough to think of him like that. College was right around the corner so there was no point starting anything just to have it end in a year.
She glanced over at Olette and saw the sad smile on her face. "I understand your reasoning. It's too bad though, you guys would have been cute together." Olette said as she pulled up to Selphie's house. "Thanks again for helping me out!" She said as Selphie climbed out of the car.
"No problem!" Selphie shut the car door and watched her friend pull away from the curb before turning around and walking up to her front door. he knew people were going to assume there was something going on between her and Tidus, but she was prepared. It was the truth that there was nothing going on. She was just tutoring him and they were just trying to get to know each other the way they used to.
Besides, there were two types of girls. The girls who have boyfriends in high school and get distracted and end up with their hearts broken, and the girls who wait to date until college or even after when they are independent and on the road to success. Selphie had always been more of the second type. It would have to take a pretty special guy to change that.
Roxas sat on a chair, his feet propped up against the front counter that Sora was currently laying across. Not a single person had come into the shop that day, and they had started their shifts at nine in the morning. Roxas could tell from the minute Sora walked in that something was up. He didn't push it though. He had a pretty good idea what was bothering him.
"Why are we still here?" Sora complained, sitting up but staying on the counter. He swung his legs over to face Roxas. "There's absolutely nobody on the beach." He said, looking out the front window. Roxas glanced over and noted that the storm had worsened. It looked as if it was nighttime outside from the amount of clouds.
"Geez, it looks like a hurricane out there." Roxas said, standing up and walking towards it. Thunder boomed and the shack shook slightly from the rumble. He felt his phone buzz in his pocket and he ignored it until it kept buzzing. Somebody was calling him. He took it out and saw that it was Wakka.
"Hello?"
"Hey Roxas, you and Sora can close up early and head out. Sorry you guys went in, I thought it would have cleared up by now." Wakka said from the other side.
"Don't worry about it man. Thanks for the call." Roxas said before hanging up and turning to Sora. "That was Wakka, he said we can close up and go home." He said. Sora nodded before hopping off the counter and grabbing his sweatshirt. Roxas grabbed his sweatshirt too but before he could leave, Sora stopped him.
"Hey man, I just wanted to let you know that Namine told me." He said, looking at Roxas seriously.
"Told you what?" Roxas didn't want to give anything away, but he had a feeling Namine was going to tell Sora.
"I know about you and her. I'm happy for you guys. And don't worry about the group, I'll take care of it if anybody has a problem with it." Sora said, slipping on his hoodie. He went to go for the door but Roxas stepped in front of it, blocking him from leaving.
"That means a lot dude, but I need to tell you something." Roxas said, looking his friend dead in the eye. He could tell by the way Sora was shrinking back and looking anywhere but him that Sora knew what was coming. "It's really obvious that something's eating you up man." Roxas said, shoving his hands in his pockets and leaning against the wall. Sora exhaled and turned around, running a hand through his hair. Roxas just watched and let him, he could tell the guy was falling apart and needed a minute.
"Alright, fine. I feel terrible. It's probably because I've got a total of like, five hours of sleep the past two nights combined. Is that it?" Sora asked.
"Oh really, and why haven't you been able to sleep?" Roxas asked. His question was met with silence. He sighed and pushed himself up off the wall. "Sora, I know how you feel about Kairi. I'm pretty sure everybody does. Now what did you do that's making you look like the living dead?" Roxas asked. Sora met his eyes and Roxas honestly felt bad for him because he looked terrible.
"I didn't do anything. That's the problem. I want to tell her but I don't want to lose her as a friend if she doesn't like me back. And I know Kairi would still be my friend, but I can't ignore it anymore. Every time I'm around her I'm constantly reminded that I'm her friend but I want more than that. God, that sounds so dumb and girly, but it's true. So I don't know what to do. I went over to her house last night after Namine gave me advice and I was going to tell her. Dude,it took an hour to convince myself just to go over there. I just couldn't tell her. She keeps asking why I'm acting weird too, so I'm really running out of options. I just don't know what to do." Sora began pacing back and forth and he barely took a breath between his sentences. Roxas just watched, half amused and half sympathetic. Only Sora could act like a zombie and still act like... well, Sora.
"Sora?" Roxas said, snapping his best friend out of his trance. "You really only have one choice." When Sora looked over at him, Roxas had a feeling his friend already knew what he was about to say. "If you don't tell her, you'll lose her forever." Sora nodded and hung his head, looking at the ground.
"I knew you were gonna say that." Sora said. The two of them stayed silent as they turned off all the lights and locked up the doors. Roxas noticed Sora was spaced out and punched him in the arm.
"I know putting yourself on the line sucks, but it's better than this. Besides, you're worrying over nothing. You two have practically been in love since you were in kindergarten. It's almost pathetic." Sora laughed a bit and Roxas was relieved. "Well I've gotta go get ready. I have dinner with Nami tonight, but you'll be fine dude. Good luck." He said before getting in his car.
He watched as Sora turned and started jogging towards the beach but he shrugged it off. He gave his friend the best advice he had to give, so he had fulfilled his requirements of the bro code for the day. He drove towards his house and wondered why the hell he agreed to cook dinner for his girlfriend that night and how he could get out of it.
"Wait, you really think out of everyone in the group, they'd be the ones to hook up?" Namine asked me as I popped another chocolate covered Paopu slice in my mouth. I contemplated my response and swallowed before I spoke again.
"No, I mean Xion and Riku just seem like the type to be friends with benefits. They get along well and have a lot of the same interests so why not? I don't think anybody else in the group have loose enough morals anyway." I answered.
The movie had ended and we had finished talking about Selphie and Tidus a while ago. We had moved onto another one of our favorite topics. The game starts when one person picks a category. It can be anything like who is most likely to become a stripper, what pair would make the worst couple, et cetera. Namine just happened to use the friends with benefits card. So, I would pick the pair out of everybody in our circle of friends that fit the category the best.
"I guess I can see it. Okay, your turn." Namine said. But before I could think of a category, her phone started ringing. All of Me by John Legend was playing from somewhere in the kitchen. Her eyes got really wide and she all but sprinted into the kitchen to answer it. "Hey Roxas, I thought you had work?" I head her say into the phone.
'All of me? Really Namine? Way to be subtle. Wait, if that's Roxas then Sora must have gotten out of work early too. Wait, you're mad at him. Right, shut up.' I thought to myself. Namine came in after a minute or two, her cheeks flushed with red.
"Uh, sorry about that." She said, sitting back on the couch.
"So, that was Roxas?" I asked, smirking at her. There was definitely something she wasn't telling me. I stared at her until sh finally caved.
"Alright, yes it was. Where were we?" She tried to change the subjects but I was not letting that happen.
"Namine, you don't just set All of Me for anyone. What aren't you telling me?" I asked, crossing my arms.
"It's kind of a secret..." She said, trailing off at the end.
"Come on, please? I won't tell a soul, I swear!" I said, holding out my pinky. Namine looked at it and the second she looked up I knew I got her.
"Fine, I'll tell but you really can't tell anybody. You're not supposed to find out until later this week but... Roxas and I are dating." My eyes nearly popped out of my skull.
"What? You guys are dating?! I expected you finally admitting you like him but dating?" I asked, overwhelmed and surprised to say the least.
"I'm sorry! We've been dating for a few months but we didn't want to say any-"
"A few months! What, how the hell have you been hiding a boyfriend for months?!" I asked, laughing at the whole situation. Namine was giggling too and before I knew it I was hugging her. "Well no matter what I'm happy for you." I said, pulling away from the hug.
"I know it goes against the rules and all but we're gonna tell the group this week anyway. We were gonna wait until next summer but we just couldn't. I'm sorry." She said.
"You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm sure nobody will even care about it. So am I the first to know?"
"Actually, you're the third. Sora and Axel know." Namine said sheepishly.
"Wait, Sora and Axel? Really?" I asked.
"Well, Roxas told Axel. And I told Sora for specific reasons." Namine said, looking at me carefully, almost as if she was studying my reaction.
"What reasons?" I asked, confused.
"Well... I guess he didn't go through with it." Namine muttered to herself, taking her phone out and firing a quick text, or at least that's what I assumed.
"Go through with what? Namine, you're not making any sense." I was starting to get worried. Namine's phone buzzed and her eyes quickly scanned the message before she replied quickly, shoving it back in her pocket. She took a quick breath and looked me dead in the eye and I was suddenly very nervous about what she was going to say.
"Kairi, I need you to be completely and totally honest with me right now. Do you have feelings for Sora?" She asked. My heart jumped and I immediately felt myself blush and I hated my body for giving it away but I still tried to deny it.
"Namine, what does this have to do wit-"
"Kairi, it's really important. I know the answer already, I'm sorry but it's obvious you're head over heels for the guy. I just need to hear it from you. I won't tell anybody, you can trust me." She said. And I knew right then and there that everything was about to change.
"Yeah, I do." A moment passed and her phone buzzed again. She took it out and read the message before standing up and grabbing my shoes.
"Okay, you're gonna have to trust me. Go to your spot. Don't ask me any questions, just text me later tonight, okay?" She said, shoving my shoes in my hands and opening the door for me. I don't know why but I felt like whatever I was about to do was right. So I put on my shoes and looked at her one last time before running out the door and down the street towards the beach.
(A.N.- Wink wink, nudge nudge, this is it guys)
I was running through the pouring rain as fast as my legs would let me. There was thunder rumbling overhead and I tried to think of the last time a storm was this bad but I couldn't. I didn't know why I was running to our spot and I had a feeling it had to do with Sora which just made me run faster.
The whole stretch was deserted and I began to feel the chill of the rain. My clothes were soaked and hung heavy, but I didn't care. My hair was stuck to my skin with rain, but I didn't care. All I cared about was getting to that spot. Finally I spotted it a few yards down the beach. I kept running until I stood in front of it.
It hit me that I ran all the way here based on pure instinct. I stood in front of the vines and leaves, frozen, just staring at the tiny entrance to the cave. I had no idea what to expect. I closed my eyes and thunder rang through the clouds once more and I breathed in with the rain. I exhaled before opening my eyes, trying to clear my mind. Finally, I threw aside the leaves and crawled through the small space.
And there he was, sitting with his back to me. I could tell it was him, even from behind. Even though his hair was damp, it still maintained its spiky shape. He wore a navy hoodie that was speckled with raindrops and he was looking at the drawings we had made when we were kids.
"I just ran all the way here and I'm not exactly sure why." My voice surprised me. It was unsteady, wavering, and my teeth were chattering. Sora turned around and his eyes widened at my appearance.
"Jesus Kai, you're soaked." He said, stepping forward and sliding out of his jacket. I took a step back and put my hand out because I was angry. For the past few days he was acting uncomfortable around me, not trusting me, not talking to me, and suddenly he cared?
"No. Don't. You don't get to act like you care now." I say. I hear the bitterness in my voice but I can't help it. I'm just so mad. "You've been acting different around me Sora and I hate it! And you can't just pick and choose when to be my best friend!" I explain. I realize that I've started shivering because the wet, cold clothing is clinging to my body and weighing it down. I look up and Sora has his hands in his pockets, his eyes looking just past me and it fuels my anger.
"Well then what do you want Kairi? Why'd you come here?" His voice is bitter too but I disregard it.
"I want answers! I'm just sitting there with Namine and all of a sudden she's asking me serious questions like what I feel about... certain people. One minute she's talking about you not going through with something and I have no idea what she's saying and the next she tells me to come here? What the hell is going on Sora?"
He looks up at me and his eyes are stormier than I've ever seen. There's just something about the way he looks at me that hurts. "Do you really want to know?" His voice is low and it kind of scares me but I don't show it and I nod my head, not trusting my voice. My heart is still pounding and I feel my whole body bouncing with nervousness but I don't care.
"The truth is, I can't do this anymore." He sounds miserable. "I can't be your friend Kairi. I've tried so hard to ignore it but I just can't. It's not fair to you either, and we both know it." He looks down at the ground and closes his eyes. He takes a deep breath in and I feel like I'm about to burst with anticipation when he finally looks up. "I love you Kairi. I am completely in love with you. I can't even remember the last time I looked at you as just a friend. Every time I look at you, all I want to do is push you against the wall and kiss you." My heart basically gives out right at that moment.
"It's not just physical either. It's everything about you. It's the way you laugh and it's the way we just spend hours together and don't get bored. It's the way you look at me Kairi, God. All those things just make me love you. I just want you to be mine. It hurts to be around you and know that I'm just your friend when I want to be so much more than that." He gives me a chance to reply but I am completely shocked. Every part of me is frozen and my head is screaming at my mouth to say something, anything, but nothing comes out.
And... I know you don't feel the same way about me. I can't blame you or anything. And after Friday, I just couldn't hold it in anymore. I just can't be around you and love you the way I do. I can't. I'm sorry." And he walks past me and out the crawl space but my body won't move.
My mind has one thought. He loves me. And suddenly it's like somebody flips a big power switch on inside of me and everything starts working again because I turn and run out after him. He's already quite a distance away from me, his hands are shoved in his pockets and his head is hung low and the rain is even harder if that's possible but I jut have to get to him. The weight of my rain soaked clothes slow me down but I keep pushing. When I'm a few feet away from him I yell his name and he turns around, confused. He opens his mouth to say something but I don't give him the chance because the next second I crash my lips onto his.
It's pouring around us and the rain is freezing but all I feel is the warmth. His lips hesitate for a second or two but they start moving against mine and it's everything I've wanted for years. His lips are soft and the kiss isn't gentle and tender, it's none of that romantic crap in the movies. It's desperate and needy and just an overwhelming sense of want. My arms find their way around his neck and it must hit him that I'm kissing him because he pulls away and looks down at me, still confused. His hands hover right above my waist and I shake my head.
"God Sora, you're stupid." I smile but he still looks confused. I just shake my head. "Do I have to spell it out for you? I love you t-" I don't get to finish the sentence because he leans down and kisses me again, and I love it.
Xion was watching the rain splatter the windshield, her eyes focused on the road but her mind miles away. Her mind was spinning with everything that was bothering her. Riku, yesterday, Roxas, the party, Namine. She weighed her options again and again even though she was aready driving to his house. She had made her final decision. She was going to tell him.
Before she knew it, her small black car was parked in front of his house. She felt like throwing up because of the nerves bouncing around in her system. She sat in the car, thinking about how easy it would be just to turn the keys and drive away. She could pretend it never happened but what good would that do? She'd lose the battle without putting up a fight, and Xion was the type of girl who fought until the end.
She took a deep breath and forced herself out of the car, walking through the pouring rain and up to the front door. Every move felt forced, it felt wrong. As she raised her hand to knock at the door she realized it was her last chance to back out. Before she could give it any real thought, her body betrayed her and her hand knocked against the wood.
Xion was surprised when Roxas's father answered the door. By the looks of it, he looked just as surprised to see her. She realized he probably didn't recognize her after all these years.
"Um, hello. I'm Xion, I was wondering if Roxas is here?" She asked. Were they expecting visitors? His father stepped to the side and let her in the house.
"He's upstairs in his room." He said before walking back into the kitchen. Xion took her time as she walked up the stairs. She faintly remembered the house, but it was much bigger than her memory gave it credit for. She took everything in as she walked to the end of the hall, coming to what she hoped was Roxas's door. She took a deep breath and was about to mentally prepare herself when the door flung open by itself.
Roxas stood on the other side, his eyebrows arched in surprise. He was wearing a light blue long sleeve shirt that was rolled up to his elbows and black jeans. Xion thought he looked pretty dressed up for sitting around the house but she ignored the thought, focusing on what she came to do.
"Xion?" Roxas asked, obviously confused. With each second Xion was losing more and more of her confidence.
"Hi. Um, I just stopped by to talk real quick." She barely recognized her own voice it was so airy and light. She didn't even realize she was doing it.
"Sure?" Roxas said, letting Xion into his room. She walked in and observed that his room was decent for a boys room. There was an occassional shirt here and papers over there but it was pretty neat. "Um, is there anything specific you came by to talk about? I was kind of busy." Roxas said, shooting her a polite smile as he rummaged through his room looking for something.
"Um, yeah." Xion said, finding a comfortable spot standing by the wall on the corner. "I was looking through old pictures the other day and I found some of us and I just got to thinking how we used to hang ou all the time. Crazy, right?" Okay, so there were no pictures and she was lying but so what?
"Yeah, good times." He said. She noted that he found what he was looking for, a small white box with a powder blue ribbon over it. He shoved it in his back pocket and glanced at his watch.
Xion could tell she was loosing him, if she ever had his interest at all. He was preoccupied and this whole thing was a disaster. In all honesty she just wanted to sprint out of the room and pretended it never happened, but she knew that wasn't possible. This wasn't at all how was pictured it. She had to do something drastic and quick.
"Listen, I'm sorry if this seems rude bu-" Xion didn't let him finish the sentence because she threw herself against him and quickly smashed her lips onto his. It was hard and it hurt and she couldn't tell if he was kissing her back. Xion felt herself being pushed away and her back hit the wall. She opened her eyes to see Roxas glaring at her and she immediately felt her heart sink.
"Roxas?" They both turned to see Namine standing in the doorway. She was wearing a baby blue sundress and her hair fell in wispy waves down her right shoulder. She held a small present in one hand and she looked as if her heart had just been ripped out.
'Well, that makes two of us.' Xion thought to herself. She watched as Namine ran down the stairs and Roxas followed right behind her, begging her to listen, that it wasn't what it looked like.
Xion stood there for a second, letting it sink in. Namine and Roxas were together. She was pretty damn sure of it now. And she had put herself on the line, kissed the only boy she's thought of for years, and in the end she still lost. She felt the tears begin to sting the back of her eyes as she quietly made her way down the stairs.
'I should have listened to Riku'.
She opened the front door and walked out onto the porch. Roxas was standing in the rain, watching a silver car speed down the street. He turned his head and saw her. She didn't know if she felt scared or guilty or just dumb, but she certainly felt like shit. Roxas began walking back towards her and she could already tell this was going to end badly.
"Why the fuck would you do that?!" He asked, obviously furious. Xion just stayed silent. The answer to the question would be irrelevent, she could see that now. "Well, whatever the reason I hope you're satisfied because the girl I love hates me now. Thanks a lot." He marched right inside and slammed the door shut in her face. Xion managed to walk to her car, her body on autopilot because her mind was spinning with words.
' "Why the fuck would you do that?" Because I love you. "The girl I love hates me now" And it's not me...'
Once she got in her car she let her armor fall and she sat there and cried, reaching for her phone. She didn't care if she was hysterically crying and sobbing in her car at seven o' clock on a Sunday night, she knew somebody who would be there for her. He said it himself that he'd be there to pick up the pieces. He knew this was going to happen.
He picked up after four rings. "Hello?"
"Riku? I need you."
